This immersion blender has made my morning smoothies so much easier! I was using a blender before this and not only does it make for a smoother mix, clean up is a breeze! I love the soft feeling of the non slip grip on the handle, and the adjustable speed is great! There is also a turbo button for the stubborn stuff! The handheld blender is actually a bit larger than I expected, but still super easy to manipulate. It has a very smooth vibration and is actually really quiet, which surprised and delighted me! No more waking the kids up from the noise of my blender to make my breakfast!!!
